Remnant is a world in which children are made into soldiers, given the ability to make rocket-launcher/chainsaw weapons and things, and a good chunk of them probably have the biggest egos in the world combined with usual teenager drama and stupidity. I'm gonna justify her acting like an irresponsible a-hole with this reasoning.

Well, she basically just told Amethyst that she and her team were completely incompetent, while one of them is laying shattered on the ground, and the last two are in a cage. AND pretty much is telling her that she doesn't know what she's talking about, even though she had been fighting the thing. lol She has an idea on what worked and didn't work.

Not to mention Amethyst would technically be bleeding out right now if her wounds weren't frozen over.

I think that you're confusing protagonist with antagonist. Because I'm pretty sure that Virdis is acting more like an antagonist than she is a protagonist. The only pro she may be being is a pro...pain.

Oh. I'm just gonna say that Virdis is an oblivious, inconsiderate idiot now because she didn't notice Amethyst was injured that badly and that her teammate died. Virdis is treating the fight like a game almost, partly due to her never experiencing tragedy before and not accounting for all things.

Or maybe it's the way I'm writing her. I'm basing her relatively good mood off of RWBY characters when they fight a single tough Grimm, specifically the Volume 1 initiation scene. Is this RP universe darker than canon? Have I been writing her too cheerfully and not serious enough?

I don't think any of OBSS apart from Sebastian and Onyx inspected the bloody ice, so I could have her notice the dead body of Amethyst's teammate to give her a slap of realism of the situation and to have her notice what Amethyst's been through.

Wait if Amethyst is that injured Onyx made a bad call in including her in his attack plan.

Wtf I'm reading a RWBY fanfic and out of nowhere it introduces an OC adopted faunus son of a criminal gang leader, whose name just so happens to be Sebastian. What are the odds!

Coincidence? Fate?? Illuminati??? Annasiel messing with reality?!?

Wiggles fingers

Alone she drifts from ancient mists
Nary a candle, nary a wish
But in the wont of wandering paths
Through wooded knolls, and windworn crags
She seeks a face she thought as friend
But now -- she thinks as judgement's end
